Is pelvic inflammatory disease really serious?

Many female friends have miscarriages because they do not pay attention to hygiene or take too many contraceptive pills. As a result, many women are infected with bacteria and suffer from pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexitis. Sometimes there will be abnormal vaginal discharge with a bad odor. It brings a lot of inconvenience to our lives, but some people don't take these situations seriously, thinking that it is normal and it will be fine if they pay attention. So is pelvic inflammatory disease really serious? Let me give you a brief description below.

1. Lower abdominal pain: The harm of adnexitis at this time is that the patient will experience lower abdominal pain, heaviness, lumbar pain and other symptoms, and they will often worsen during menstruation or after fatigue.

2. Loss of ovarian function: The truly catastrophic consequence is that the ovaries are unable to perform their normal physiological functions. The ovaries are one of the most important sexual organs that distinguish women from men. Adnexitis can not only cause female infertility and weaken and disappear secondary sexual characteristics, but can also directly cause endocrine disorders, lead to skin aging, and steal a woman's beautiful face.

3. Leading to ectopic pregnancy: If chronic salpingitis causes incomplete blockage of the fallopian tube lumen, it will easily increase the chance of ectopic pregnancy.

4. Cause infertility: The inflammatory stimulation of adnexitis can cause fallopian tube edema and thinning of the mucosa, which is not conducive to the combination of sperm and egg. If not treated in time, the condition will worsen. The fallopian tube will become adhered and blocked due to necrosis of the mucosal epithelial cells, affecting the passage of sperm and causing female infertility.

5. Leading to ectopic pregnancy: Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease is mostly bilateral salpingitis, which will cause adhesion and blockage of the fallopian tubes over time, and the lumen will become narrow or closed. This causes the fertilized egg to be unable to implant in the uterine cavity, resulting in an ectopic pregnancy.

6. Pelvic inflammatory disease often recurs and takes a long time to heal, causing patients to experience negative emotions such as anxiety, irritability, depression, and secondary sexual apathy and sexual aversion, affecting the couple's life.

7. Chronic inflammation may lead to pelvic congestion and menorrhagia. When ovarian function is damaged, menstrual disorders may occur. When the fallopian tubes are blocked by adhesions, infertility may occur. Acute inflammation may cause serious consequences such as diffuse peritonitis, sepsis and even septic shock. Chronic inflammation, which cannot be cured for a long time and recurs repeatedly, affects women's normal work and life as well as their physical and mental health.

The above are the dangers of pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexitis. Through the above introduction, we can know that if pelvic inflammatory disease and adnexitis are not treated in time, the consequences will be very serious. Therefore, female friends should pay more attention to it and seek treatment immediately if they have symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease or adnexitis. Early detection and early treatment can avoid more serious consequences. For the sake of their own health, female friends must not take these inflammations lightly.
